Quotes:
· ” I hate to say it, but I, I actually, I started in fitness when I was little, when I was like 11 or 12, started lifting weights because I was literally living the, like, bully on the playground thing and I didn't want to get pushed around anymore.” [13:19]
- ” So don't believe everything you think, separate that inner voice that's telling you you can't, you shouldn't, you're not gonna. From your actual voice, give it a name and tell it to shut the heck up. It works!” [34:32]

About Missy
Missy is a multi-certified movement therapist who has been educating and coaching for over 14 years. As a young professional dancer, she battled many injuries over her career and one day she found someone who studied neurology (the study of the brain and nervous system). After one session with this person, her 4-year knee pain was completely gone. She knew she wanted to teach this approach to the world.
The importance of brain function and using the nervous system to rapidly “debug” movement patterns, decrease pain, and increase performance, has led her to teach and create lightning-fast improvements with people from all walks of life. Her specialties include injury prevention, injury rehabilitation, joint mobility, and decreasing pain, holistically.
